Finding 3000 for 125. Want electric. ****ty sidewalks, crappy siding. Ill use it once a year, maybe less.
Gas is out. It would rot like my other gas tools.

Ranch house.

Is 3000 needed or is 2 good enough?


Electric pressure washers seem to fall into 2 categories. 120v models
that lie about their performance and a 240v 5hp model that will
actually get some work done (2700-3000 PSI at 2.5 GPM).
The 5HP electric runs with the consumer grade gas machines.
If time is not important to you a little unit will work but it is
painfully slow if you have a lot to wash.
